Little Pink is the vehicle through which singer/ songwriter/ bandleader Mary Battiata uses her experiences as a journalist and war correspondent to chart the perils and redemptions of lost love and the midlife crossing. The album, with title taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson`s essay `Experience,` has the sonic subtlety of the Cowboy Junkies` most ethereal efforts. Battiata is joined by Philip Stevenson, Ben Peeler, and a slew of DC-area roots-rock vets. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Night World)
